Resource provides a holistic and complete meiosis lesson with illustrations, animations, glossary, and links. Extremely detailed and helpful site.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] No matter what the cell, all cells come from preexisting cells through the process of cell division. This module provides an overview of cell division in prokaryotes...

Slideshow of mitosis and meiosis side-by-side. It is a summation of the two processes and the differences between them are clear.

Meiosis is used to make sperm and egg cells. During meiosis, a cell's chromosomes are copied once, but the cell divides twice. During mitosis, the chromosomes are copied once, and the cell divides once. For simplicity, cells are...

This site provides both illustrations and text to compare and contrast the stages of mitosis with meiosis.

Short animations, detailed information, and illustrated diagrams help explain the cell cycle and cellular division, focusing on binary fission and mitosis.

A useful review of plant meristems, growth and cell wall construction. Good illustrations make for easy to understand information.

In this third unit of a Biology course, students learn about cells and cell structure. They compare prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and learn about the specialized structures in a cell and what their functions are. They will also learn...

Tutorial examines how a cell divides to make two genetically identical cells and explores the four basic phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

This article illustrates the properties of cell division in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Understand what happens to a cell during mitosis.

Find out about the basics of mitosis and meiosis with this comparison chart. Then read the article, study the diagrams, and watch the videos to go further into the subject.

A complete site from iKnow.net that compares the various phases of mitosis in plant and animal cells. Text is supplemented with pictures of each phase.

The phases of mitosis are described and the splitting of a cell into two daughter cells at the end of it.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] How do you make a cell with half the DNA? Meiosis. This activity outlines the phases of meiosis, provides an overview of sexual reproduction, and describe how...

This article provides a discussion of DNA and how it replicates. Includes a chromosome map of a human male, a close-up of chromosomes just before cell division and a close up of a DNA molecule.

This interactive site provides animations and activities in several areas of physiology. The images are simple, but clear. The accompanying text provides a good description of the process being shown.

Describes the structure and functions of centrioles within a cell.
